There’s something slightly off about having three artists that make music for long summer drives play with a frigid downpour happening outside, but Maggie Whitlock, Mothers, and Pinegrove managed to make a home for their clear skied escapism music at Northeastern on Tuesday.

Opening the show, singer/songwriter Maggie Whitlock represented Green Line Records and Northeastern as a whole proudly with haunting folk rock and her absolutely transfixing voice. Athens, GA’s Mothers last visited Boston earlier this year with the release of When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired, but a year of tour has subtly morphed Tired‘s songs into a more elastic, experimental live show heavy with ambience. Jokingly citing Mothers’ “tangly guitars” as “their thing”, singer Evan Stephens Hall and his ever-expanding Pinegrove crew followed with a more straightforward, but no less passionate set complete with crowds singalongs through each song. With a live album on the horizon, the New Jersey six piece light-heartedly deliberated which renditions might be keepers on stage, but the hope is that the inescapable joy of a Pinegrove show can be fully represented on record. Considering they made us forget about the rain until we wrote this, our bets are in their favor.
